Some kids just don't enjoy school. They are bored by the
subjects, sometimes because they don't challenge them, they don't enjoy the
company of the other children, and they simply don't like the teacher. Or –
they're the type who will in adulthood be found in a physical, outdoor job
because they can't stand being stuck indoors.

But what about kids who once enjoyed school and now don't
want to go back?

The problem could stem from some setback in class – perhaps an
embarrassment over a mistake. I recall being a child and unable to correctly
pronounce words in French. Other students made fun of me and I let their
ridicule prevent me from speaking it at all – so I never learned even what
little would have been learned in a 3rd grade classroom.

Children obviously do need to go to school – or have a
parent who can stay home and provide home study. So how can you make it less
painful for them?

Gentian is Dr. Bach's answer to skepticism, doubt,
pessimism, and discouragement. It can help the child regain his optimism and
his faith and confidence in being able to master his lessons – and to rise
above the occasion when he does make a mistake.

After treatment, your child might realize that obstacles and
mistakes are nothing more than opportunities to learn what you don't know – so you
can increase your knowledge.
